Take heed that ye despise not one of these
little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always
behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew
18:10)
But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased,
and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid
them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. (Mark
10:14)

These
books recently came to my attention. They are being sold online by
various dealers under the guise of "art" and "freedom of expression." Just
because these children are not depicted in any "graphically sexual" conduct,
does that disqualify this as child porn? Were these children coerced
or pressured into posing like this? At what point does child porn hit
the grade of being law enforcement actionable?
I was told by one gentleman
that, "The argument launched by Operation Rescue in the ads they ran around
the country was that the book dealer had that book on the shelf, available
for anyone to pick up (i.e., exposure to small children). The court agreed.
While the book dealer argued that it was a 1st Amendment issue, the court
declared the books in question to be pornographic and ordered them removed
from the shelves.
Pornography can legally
be sold over the Internet since these books must be paid for by credit card.
It is assumed that minor children do not have credit cards with which to
buy."
A lady friend responded,
"Pornography is one thing ... using children like that is another! How
is THAT legal?"
Keep your eyes open for these books. Outside of that, you need to ask yourselves if this is something to approach your elected representatives about. List of books sold that contain illegal child pornography:
